Rin, you are an intelligent person, but you are rationalizing your own difficulties in bonding with women and, it seems, people in general. In this sense, your intelligence is working against you. Don't box yourself in. You are still quite immature, and your attitude is sophomoric. There is much to be gained through developing a relationship with a woman and creating a family, despite the possible pitfalls. The experience of being a father can bring out the best in you. A life based upon only your own personal gratification, will eventually become meaningless. Humans are essentially a social, and tribal animal. We have evolved this way and 70 years of birth control enabled shallow sexual behavior have not changed our essential genetics and psychology. Don't give up .

Rin , who is unable or unwilling to connect personally and in a lasting way with a sexual partner, is a genetic dead end

I'm not the smartest guy ever, but I can edge into that "genius" bracket on the low end. One thing I know is that if people like me don't procreate, only the dumb people will be having kids. And although a few smart kids will be born as genetic anomalies to that race of imbeciles, they are unlikely to persuade the population to undertake reason and progress rather than superstition and entropy.

So I found the best, smartest, most competent and hardworking girl I could find and made some babies with her. Turns out a lot of this stuff is genetic, cuz our kids aren't only cute and handsome, but also pretty freakin smart and motivated to do stuff!

The Bible says that "children are like arrows in a man's quiver." I take this to mean that they are assets, not liabilities. I don't subscribe to the old (boomer and before) way of thinking about children. That generation regarded their progeny as a burden and spoke longingly of when their kids turned 18 so they could kick them out and be free of responsibility once again! Bull shit! I want my relationship with our children to continue as long as I live, guiding and helping them to achieve their dreams so that the family as a whole will be stronger for their strength. Friends are fine, but the old saying is true: blood is thicker than water. Or even beer!

If you don't have family, make some. I was alone in California, but then I made myself a family and now I'm never alone. If you can't procreate, consider adopting some kids who aren't babies. You'll acquire friends for life, friends who are grateful for your help at a vulnerable time in their lives, who will be there for you forever. Family is worth it!

I'm not saying it's bad. It is symptomatic of dysfunction. A healthy , functional species must be capable of procreation, and raising their offspring. Because humans are such a complex animal, it takes approximately 18 years to raise a child to the point where it is likely to survive on its own. In order to do this, males and females must form a safe, nurturing, stable environment in which to raise a child. In order to do this, the man and the woman must form a lasting bond. This is facilitated by the ability to form a relationship based on mutual trust, respect, communication, and cooperation. An individual who cannot form such a bond may procreate, but the odds of its offspring surviving to adulthood are greatly diminished. Thus the primacy of intimacy and deep personal relationships to the health and functionality of the human species.

The general gist of this rings true. However modern society has distorted the natural genetic selection via the welfare state and taken away any financial dependence or responsibility from the women. I also think that Rin has a point with the time at which a bond is first formed. The earlier you bond the more likely you are to stay together. Unfortunately this is also being heavily discouraged these days. The result is that the functional, able and genetically and societal healthy women stop having kids or - when they do have them - have them under poor circumstances as a last minute bang before the biological clock runs out. Whereas many of those who shouldn't procreate do so excessively, leading to mild overpopulation of the undesired kind. Also for a man to find a genetically and psychologically healthy wife with beauty in modern western society is a quest of poor odds, so many men forego it altogether. I agree it should be attempted nonetheless, but Rin's lifestyle has a lot of appeal in modern society. It would have far less in former times before leftism, feminism and cultural marxism started destroying the nuclear family unit.

So, you do have an agenda ... which is the age old 'but what about family values?' argument, ala Puritanism.

I've already made my decision on the situation. I do not live in denial about our society. I've made my true friends by the ages of 25-28 and afterwards, everyone new is a business contact.

Albeit, it doesn't mean that they're animals but that they'll never truly be ~100% close like the ppl who you'd played army with, during the teenage years.

Mell, Yes, but we mustn't give in to the state enabling single mothers to raise the children. We mustn't humor behavior such as Rin's nor condone what the state is doing. We must be men and point out where our society is going wrong and stand against it. If we just find a selfish loophole niche to survive in, we are acquiescing to the subjugation and possibly the elimination of our society and possibly our species.

Wait, wasn't I the one with the ABC syndrome?

Sounds like you've got even more insecurities, in terms of the reality that our society is in long term decline.

Rin, I am calling out and calling attention to your irresponsible, immature, and reckless advocacy of an attitude and lifestyle which is destructive to human society. As I pointed out earlier, family values are an essential requirement of human survival. A man in society stands up for what benefits society and stands against what is destructive to society. As a man with children and family ,and relatives and friends, I feel protective towards a society that can continue to thrive . I stand up for the continuation of our society and stand against proponents of a lifestyle that will bring it down .

Why do you think that ancient Greece even had an 'Age of Pericles'? It's because back then, citizen men like myself would have a wife at home, raising a family, instead of plotting ways of stealing my IRA. So along with the Athenian naval peace structure in place, Renaissance men like Aeschylus, Plato, Herodotus, etc, were be able to produce work which even today, 2000+ years later, has value for society.

In America, such a time will come when sex robots go mainstream. When (not if) that happens, men will be producing the next generation of great works, which will have a profound effect for the centuries ahead, provided that we don't destroy ourselves in the meantime.

In contrast, today's men procreating, will simply be living, paycheck to paycheck, with the hope that someday, they'll drop dead due to a coronary. They will never produce anything more than what their corporate overlords expect from them. I choose to not join in on this party.

I feel protective towards a society that can continue to thrive . I stand up for the continuation of our society and stand against proponents of a lifestyle that will bring it down

There are MANY more things on that list that are a detriment to our society thriving then Rin's behavior and those similar to him. Everyone knows a guy that is that perpetual bachelor. They've existed forever. It's really not a problem at all in all honesty. So I feel like you're fighting a battle that can't be won or your energy could be shifted elsewhere, maybe where our society is actually a shit show for family values, etc. If a dude boinking hoes and not wanting to get married is a problem, it's probably 10,458 on my list of problems with our society.

You are using a destructive aspect of our society to rationalize your behavior.

Concerning that in mainstream society, I'm not even allowed to talk about hoes, it's more that I'm fighting society's oppression.

You can talk all you want about 'family values' in public w/o getting stoned. If the shoes were reversed, how would you like it? If every time you would speak of family values and someone tosses a rock your way, wouldn't you need to 'rationalize' your behavior?

I'm not insecure about our societies long term decline, just aware of it.

Dude? WTF? Let's try a little more positive outlook man. Do what you can do to improve our outlook as a society.

To you Rin is a problem, get that. But in the grand scheme of things he's but just one mosquito on the face of the earth of our problems. I'm pretty sure you don't remember every mosquito bit you've ever had, right? How about the dude that beats the shit out of his wife or kids? Don't you think that's a bigger problem? Throwing around a diagnosis of Aspergers is strange.

And if you want to get technical, we're in constant decline. Earth ain't gonna last forever. Enjoy the ride, have fun, be responsible and take care of yourself. That's about the best you can do.

I stand by my analysis. It is unlikely I will have made an impression on you through this for him. Mostly I would like to counter your irresponsible advocacy of your lifestyle. When all of your high school friends grow up and have gone on to raise families, you may see things a little bit differently. Maybe not. But most normal people would.

As a grown-up adult, a mature person assumes responsibility for the leadership of their society in whatever way they can.Disregard for the effects of your words and actions on others is a sign of immaturity.

And if they don't, they should be shamed, whipped, and eventually burned at stake. Mankind has been through this before.

I didn't suggest any form of punishment. If someone thinks they can attempt to normalize their abnormal behavior by bragging about it and justifying it on a forum, then it is my obligation to point out their dysfunctionality and destructive impact on society. If they feel any shame, so much the better.

You don't have to respond to this, but how old are you? My high school friends don't have families. They will eventually but times change man. I'm 34. Just went to a wedding for a 34 year old friend. If they have kids it's not happening anytime soon. I'd estimate only about 30% of my high school class even has kids now. Life expectancy is longer and life goals have shifted later. I can't say if this is good or bad. I sure as shit won't judge someone on an Internet forum thinking I know that person.

Keep in mind I'm likely on your team. Two kids, two dogs and a great wife. I just have a hard time believing that you think Rin is a scourage on our society. There's something else there and my hunch is religion. Which is fine. I just think you're jumping the shark saying he has asbergers.

You also mention "normal people." Not sure what this means. I've known "normal people" with families and who appear to be doing great kill themselves. There is no normal. I'd be careful judging people. I've done it before and it doesn't always come out the way you thought. Good or bad.

I do not see how what Rin does is destructive to society. What he does has been going on since times immemorial. In any case, what he does is a trillion times less destructive than what politicians do. Furthermore, he is honest about it. There are many married family men who are not honest, and who project holier-than-thou attitude, while secretly watching porn and/or chasing after prostitutes.

It is destructive when a person with apparent psychological problems gets on a public forum and brags about how amazing their anti social , dysfunctional life is. Just pointing out that this person should be no example to anyone.

This is hilarious, I'd just had a Prime Rib lunch (with drinks and chatting with others), and you folks are going on and on, on what's culturally acceptable. Pathetic!

Perhaps some of my detractors need to develop psychosomatic illnesses and die of natural causes, since it's illegal for me to advocate suicide.

Our society won't be eliminated, it will just be less beauty and less brains. Rin is not wrong with the Age of Pericles. Yes, we must point out and some of us may try, but it may not be enough. I have no problems finding hot women to bang, particularly since I work out and do ok otherwise as well and I have been at least modestly lucky genpool-wise. But wife-material amongst western (if not all) women is exceptionally rare these days, and if you can't lower your beauty standards, it is even worse among the hot ones. They may have everything in the world, but they are not happy with "just raising a family", and constantly look for drama. Few are still hot, but they have lost and are losing their femininity. Nobody wants to bang a chick that's mentally a man. A reset may be needed, and it may be the Age of Pericles.

Mell, ppl like PaisleyPattern are a one note band. They're basically standup religious fundamentalist Manginas, whose cacophonies are 'suck it up' or 'be a man', not too dissimilar from the feminists' own mutterings.

It's very obvious that without ongoing wars and continually appeasing women's dramas, American (a/o western) men will produce works of Arts and Sciences, not too dissimilar from the original 'Age of Pericles'.

Today, it's virtually impossible to even meet up with an old male friend, without him getting a dozen texts about his whereabouts from the wife/GF. And that's suppose to be a happy life?
